Bad plot, bad dialogue, bad acting, idiotic directing, the annoying porn groove soundtrack that ran continually over the overacted script, and a crappy copy of the VHS cannot be redeemed by consuming liquor. Trust me, because I stuck this turkey out to the end. It was so pathetically bad all over that I had to figure it was a fourth-rate spoof of Springtime for Hitler.The girl who played Janis Joplin was the only faint spark of interest, and that was only because she could sing better than the original.If you want to watch something similar but a thousand times better, then watch Beyond The Valley of The Dolls.

The inimitable schlockmeister Larry Buchanan must have really poured his heart and soul into this broccoli-fart...it's far more polished than any of the other pictures I've seen by him. That said, it is also possibly the worst film about rock and roll ever made, and paroxysmal laughter is one-hundred percent guaranteed.This is an intellectually-challenged conspiracy feature which brings to light the shocking "truth" about the wild lives and untimely deaths of three rock legends-- Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Janis Joplin. As you will see...they did NOT die from drug overdoses, as claimed the headlines...nope. The startling fact is that they were murdered by an elite group of assassins because they were subversive counterculture mavericks leading a massive youth rebellion during the Vietnam war! One of them may have been spared...but why spoil a novel "twist" ending?You know you're in for a really stinky treat when the cover of a video about these long-dead rock legends boasts that there are "12 original songs", but frankly, a better than expected job was done making them sound authentic. In fact, the ersatz Doors pieces are frighteningly believable. Less believable, however, are the performances by the leads...they should thank God that they never became famous, because there's no way in all hell they'd ever be able to live this one down.Big cheers for the MC5 poster, gratuitous groupie boobs, and one of the famed penis immortalizers hauling her plaster-casting gear around in a vintage Carousel wig box.Seven and one half stars(of ten), for all the wrong reasons.

I love this movie it is so funny. I think that Jim Morrisons stoned surfer dude dialog is worthy of an academy. Jimi's vomit is the stuff of the heavens, and hey at last a good looking Janis who CAN sing. Anyhow if you love bad movies and sitting drunk with your friends and making sarcastic remarks is your idea of fun, this may be your waterloo! The bizarre music may be the highlight, but then I remember the plot. Honestly it's really crazy and you must see it to believe it. I suppose the Hendrix guy was the best, but they sure give him some off the wall lines. Jim of course is made out to be an incoherent wreck. Janis they were nicer too, but somehow I don't think any of three hung out as much as this film would lead you to think. Actually thinking isn't the point of this movie, it's just enjoying the schlock. Ed Wood had he lived may have turned out something just like this.

Many people think that drugs were the reason that three top rock stars in the early seventies all died of "Drug Overdoses" within a one year period. People are afraid to ask why. That is, everyone except Larry Buchanan. Larry is not afraid to put his ass on the line to tell the truth. As a famous rock journalist with over two decades in the trenches, I take my hat off to Larry for laying out a courageous and extremely plausible scenario! Watch this film and learn the truth. But remember, you might not like what you'll discover about your government!
